Placed in unstable foster homes from the time he was three, he fell through the gaps of the foster care system — struggling to find safety, security and some sense of family. And yet, this forgotten child not only managed to obtain all of those things but also has become a beacon — or as he likes to think of it, a lighthouse — for countless others. Today, Pemberton is considered one of America’s most inspiring business and HR leaders. As told in the major motion picture and his acclaimed, bestselling memoir, A Chance in the World, adversity only fueled his desire to become a man of incredible resilience, unyielding determination and passionate vision. Pemberton went on to find success as a corporate executive, people leader, visionary youth advocate and acclaimed speaker devoted to inspiring and helping others. He has been featured on some of the most recognizable media platforms in the country, including the Today show, CBS Evening News and People magazine. Recently, he celebrated his lighthouses, plus many others he met along his journey, in his latest book: The Lighthouse Effect: How Ordinary People Can Have an Extraordinary Impact in the World. It offers practical encouragement for how you can be a "human lighthouse" for others and suggests that you might already be having that impact. Through the inspiring stories Pemberton shares, he renews hope for humanity by reminding that all is not lost.
